Our ladies are still kicking it. So many eggs. Last Thursday we gave away 8 dozen to our neighbor who was going to share them with their family. Another 6 dozen was taken to the doctors office for the staff. We still have dozens left. I know we can expect a slow down shortly then we will be...
Thought I share with you the cutest egg I believe was layed by a Welsumer pullet. Found it partially buried. I added the other two eggs so you can see how tiny it was.
